Chapter 911: The Ultimate Inheritance

The dragon-shaped mark on Ye Yuan's brow lit up again, appearing exceptionally dazzling.

"I think I have obtained some kind of recognition," Ye Yuan said calmly, facing the terrifying shadow.

The moment he passed through the light curtain, some information entered his sea of consciousness, and his bloodline seemed to be activated, as if it had gained some kind of approval.

A dragon-shaped mark also appeared on his brow. That was why he could open this ultimate place.

The shadow did not speak, but its gaze fell on Shao Kai and the others.

Shao Kai and the others were startled, cold sweat unknowingly soaking their clothes.

"They are all my companions. Please, senior, send them back," Ye Yuan said.

The shadow nodded slightly, waved its hand, and actually tore open space, sending their group out directly.

Shao Kai and the others only felt a blur before their eyes, and they were back on the second floor of the pavilion.

"Oh my god, that was terrifying! With a flick of his fingers, he killed Zhong Wubing and the others. That shadow was too strong! Brother Shao, my heart was about to jump out of my chest!" An Ren patted his chest, looking terrified.

Shao Kai was hardly better off than An Ren; he was just holding on and not showing it. He nodded and said, "That shadow's strength is indeed too great! If it weren't for Ye Yuan, we would surely have died too!"

Everyone looked at each other, still not fully recovered.

How did Ye Yuan suddenly become the inheritor?

They had entered the ultimate place, made a brief appearance, and then returned. But they all understood that the real treasures of the Dragon Emperor's territory were probably in that ultimate place!

"Brother Shao, what should we do now? Here..." An Ren scanned the surroundings, a greedy look in his eyes.

All around were treasures!

Shao Kai's expression changed, and he said sternly, "Don't even think about it! Wait until Ye Yuan returns before doing anything! Don't blame me for not warning you—have you forgotten the pile of ashes on the first floor?"

An Ren's heart skipped a beat, and his greed vanished. He said awkwardly, "Haha, I was just saying. Of course, we'll wait for Brother Ye to return. Without him, even if we got the treasures, we might not be able to leave!"

"Hmph! You know that's right! Everyone sit down and meditate. Do nothing, and wait quietly for Ye Yuan's return. If these treasures are meant to be yours, they won't run away. But if anyone wants to court death, I won't stop them!" Shao Kai snorted coldly.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious. Recalling Ye Yuan's prowess, they were all deeply awed.

When they first entered, there were over a hundred people in a mighty procession, and probably no one thought highly of Ye Yuan. But along the way, everyone else had died, leaving only their group, and not a single one of them had perished!

Before entering the Dragon Emperor's territory, this was something they dared not even imagine.

Ye Yuan had almost single-handedly brought them here!

The choice seemed clear without further words.

...

"You, a human, have actually cultivated Dragon Wave to the mid Spirit level!"

The shadow examined Ye Yuan, its words calm, but a hint of surprise was unmistakable.

Ye Yuan's talent in cultivating Dragon Wave surprised even himself, let alone others.

Back when Ye Yuan first started practicing Dragon Wave, he had given Long Teng quite a headache.

Discussing the cultivation of the Dragon Pulse in front of Ye Yuan seemed like an invitation to be slapped.

“Uh, I just kept practicing, and before I knew it, I reached the mid Spirit level.” Ye Yuan reluctantly told the plain truth.

The shadow figure was clearly taken aback; such an explanation was utterly irresponsible.

But for Ye Yuan, that was indeed the case.

“Half-divine dragon blood, primeval dragon bone! Kid, your fortune is no small matter! It seems those few drops of dragon blood are of little use to you now.”

The shadow figure took out a small bottle containing a few drops of blood and tossed it directly to Ye Yuan.

“Hehe, dragon blood is a good thing—I never have too much!” Ye Yuan quickly stowed away the dragon blood.

The shadow figure then produced a small bell and also tossed it to Ye Yuan, saying, “This is the Heavenly King Bell, a supreme-grade saint artifact! These two items are your reward for reaching the mid Spirit level in the Dragon Pulse.”

A supreme-grade saint artifact was extremely rare even in the Divine Realm. Ye Yuan's Star Moon Sword was merely a top-grade saint artifact.

In an age when the divine path had withered, divine artifacts had also vanished. Supreme-grade saint artifacts had become the pinnacle of existence in the Divine Realm.

Of course, quasi-divine artifacts like the Haotian Tower naturally stood above supreme-grade saint artifacts.

However, Ye Yuan had yet to hear of any faction possessing a quasi-divine artifact.

After Ye Yuan put away the Heavenly King Bell, the shadow figure spoke again: “Now, you have two choices! First, take these two items, and I will escort you out of the Dragon Emperor's territory. Second, challenge the ultimate inheritance, but… there will be danger to your life! With your strength, it is impossible to succeed.”

Without a second thought, Ye Yuan replied, “What’s there to consider? Faced with such an opportunity, who could refuse?”

The shadow figure shook his head and said, “The ultimate inheritance is extremely perilous, and you are too weak! Even if, by some miracle, you obtained the reward of the ultimate inheritance, you would be unable to activate it. Moreover…”

At this point, the shadow hesitated.

"And I'm not of the Dragon Clan, so I'm unworthy of the ultimate inheritance, right?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.

The shadow did not answer, but it clearly acquiesced to the fact.

A human receiving the Dragon Clan's ultimate inheritance was unreasonable.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Senior, once I refine the Primordial Dragon Bone, I can evolve to the royal bloodline. Regardless of my origin, this bloodline is absolutely genuine. If even the royal bloodline is unworthy of the Dragon Clan's possessions, then who is? Besides, from what you said, it seems the ultimate inheritance does not explicitly forbid humans from receiving it. Your concern... is merely your own!"

Ye Yuan's words were not polite at all; the shadow before him was clearly the gatekeeper of the ultimate inheritance. He was not the maker of the rules, only the executor.

"Hmph! A mere brat dares to speak recklessly about me, knowing neither the height of the heavens nor the depth of the earth!"

The shadow snorted coldly and, without further argument, struck out!

A black dragon roared forth, its momentum as if to devour heaven and earth!

"Divine-level Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm!" Seeing this palm, Ye Yuan drew in a sharp breath.

He could sense that this Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm had definitely surpassed the limits of the spiritual level, reaching the legendary divine level!

The shadow before him was terrifyingly strong!

What kind of existence was this fellow?

But now he had no time to think; at this critical moment between life and death, he could only circulate his primal power to its fullest and activate the Haotian Tower with all his might!

Facing such an earth-shattering palm, only the Haotian Tower could block it.

The shadow let out a soft exclamation, and the black dragon instantly vanished, as if it had never existed.
